Detecting if image url is valid

[UncleCake]

Hi,

Is there a way that I can detect if a image url is valid? I want to display a missing image place holder if the image is missing.

You can use this to check for an instance of that image file::
public function isValidImage(fileName)
dim fsoObj
set fsoObj = server.createobject("scripting.filesystemobject&quot
if fsoObj.FileExists(server.mappath("\images&quot & "\" & fileName) then
isValidImage = true
else
isValidImage = false
end if
if isObject(fsoObj) then set fsoObj = nothing
end function

Then you can call it like so::
if isValidImage("myimage.gif&quot then
response.write &quot;<img src=&quot;xxx.gif&quot;>
else
response.write &quot;no image&quot;
end if

Thanks, would that have to go in a dll or could it just go on the asp page?
